SUMMARY:How Much Oil Entered the Ocean from the Line 901 (Refugio Beach) P
 ipeline Spill?: An Empirical Approach
DESCRIPTION:Paper\n\nPaul Boehm and Kristin Robrock (Exponent)\n\nThe accu
 rate determination of the quantity and rate of oil released to the marine 
 environment is central to spill response efforts, natural resource damage 
 assessments, and legal actions. In the case of the Line 901 (Refugio Beach
 ) oil spill in 2015, heavy crude oil with diluent was released from an upl
 and pipeline incident. Oil was released below the soil surface, flowed ove
 r land and through culverts, and finally cascaded over a cliff before reac
 hing the ocean. While engineering calculations determined the amount and r
 ate of release from the pipeline, and were accepted by the responsible age
 ncies, the amount of oil actually entering the ocean was unknown and subje
 ct to controversy. This case study delves into the outcomes of a comprehen
 sive analysis that utilized information from the pipeline release, details
  of the release scenario, oil characteristics, chemical data and weatherin
 g information, and a robust set of spill response details related to the u
 pland cleanup.  This case study not only determined the amount of oil that
  reached the ocean, but also quantified the uncertainty in this calculatio
 n. The methodology employed in this investigation is outlined, presenting 
 insights that can be applied to future oil releases.\n\nTag: Preparedness\
